Ceiriog
Country Holidays are set in the beautiful Ceiriog Valley, located just over
the Welsh border, a valley which retains its own traditions, culture and
lifestyle. Described as 'a piece of heaven thats fallen to earth' by Lloyd
George, the area has remained relatively undiscovered - a secret hideaway -
yet it is easily reached from the motorway network and A5, one of the main
tourist routes into North Wales. Here is a valley just waiting to be
explored with unrivalled countryside, excellent range of accommodation,
great variety of pursuits and attractions, and a warm and friendly welcome.
The variety of scenery encountered along the eighteen mile length of the
valley is amazing. Rising in the foothills of the Berwyn Mountains, the
River Ceiriog wends its way through heath and moorland, wooded hills and
rocky outcrops, lush pastures and gentle slopes, with brooks and streams
adding to its flow. Situated on its banks as it journeys downstream are the
picturesque villages and hamlets of Llanarmon, Tregeiriog, Pandy, Glyn
Ceiriog, Dolywern, Pontfadog and finally Chirk. This is the gateway to the
valley, where the river passes beneath Thomas Telford's impressive aqueduct
(and viaduct alongside) before meeting the River Dee. Nearby, the imposing
Marcher fortress of Chirk Castle overlooks the mouth of the valley and the
ancient boundary of Offa's Dyke.
Ceiriog Country Holidays will be pleased to arrange everything you require
to make your holiday complete, offering a personal and friendly service.
Holidays are available all year round, and are designed to meet your own
personal requirements, providing a unique package of accommodation and
country pursuits of your choice. |
